2019 Riverside Cup

Background
The Day of the Dead Championship, consisting of two legs, was coming up. The first leg also counted as a separate championship, the Spooktacular Championship, which was supposed to be on Thursday, October 31, 2019. However, rain meant indoor recess that day, and the first leg got postponed the following day, Friday, November 1, 2019.

First Leg
The two teams battled it out as the Shark Hat Nation’s goalie had a clean sheet. However, Midway Megamen scores a goal, with an assist from the best player in fifth grade, TBaby45. The score was 1-0, despite 5GFC getting first pick.

Second Leg
The second leg was an all-time classic. 5GFC struck first, tying the aggregate at 1-1 when their best player scored a goal. However, TBaby45 responded with a goal that hit the crossbar yet still got in. Chiron54321 passed the ball back to the goalie, which was a penalty. 5GFC’s best player scored the penalty to put them up on away goals in the aggregate. Yet an amazing penalty goal by TBaby45 put the Shark Hat Nation up 3-2 aggregate. 1hp_ZillyZ responded with a goal to put 5GFC up on a way goals yet again. However, Ababy18 scored THE GAME WINNING GOAL! The Shark Hat Nation won, 4-3 on aggregate.

Wait...so why is this the Riverside Cup?
Because soccer got banned. TBaby45 made a foul on 5GFC’s best player on Wednesday, November 13, 2019. Despite going for the ball, 5GFC’s player complained. It was also because both of the teachers that supervise and act like refs were absent, so there were substitutes. The game lasted only 10 minutes, as the pet dog of a girl played with the tether ball, making it indoor recess for the first 20 minutes. However, the Shark Hat Nation are only a temporary champion because according to Spaceblox111234, soccer could be brought back in March 2020 if the girls stop excluding the boys from four square.
